    Fake. Childhood, adolescence, adulthood, old age. Primary education, secondary education, further education, tertiary education, post-graduate education, etc. He's trying to make the 4 elements into 3 by saying "before we discovered fire". Well, most people weren't aware air existed so it was 2 then. In fact more people were aware of fire than the people aware of air. You can play that game with anything. Before we discovered the 4th planet we knew 3 planets. So that's why 3 is special? Yes, 3 is the first number that is the sum of the (positive whole) numbers before it. But 4 is the first square whose root is not itself. 5 is the number we have fingers on one hand. And so on forever. So every number is a "magic" number, meaning none of them are. Nursery rhymes? 5 little ducks went swimming one day? There were 10 in the bed? The 12 days of Christmas? Oh, self-help books now. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People? I could give you tons of counter-examples to everything you said in the video.

    You simply cherry-picked examples of 3 in order to present it as more significant than others. A truly narrow-minded thing to do. Shame on you.

    This is a marvelous presentation, but I have one gripe. It is way too short. A 14 minute clip does not do the number 3 the justice it deserves. There is so much in developmental biology, anatomy, philosophy, physics and multiple other subjects, an entire series could be created as independent segments which could easily be placed together as a full length motion picture trilogy. Instead of the typical three 30 minute (1 and 1/2 hours) movie length, one could "easily" put together three 3 hour compilations which novices and serious researchers would absolutely love to view… particularly by including research level representations of the 3 such as DNA's triplet code, the 3 families of fundamental particles, as well as the esoteric references such as the threes in Masonic teachings, 3-fold law in the Wicca/Pagan communities, 3-drug cocktails for executing prisoners, etc… etc… etc… All of which would be more interesting if we would offer an idea about the 3's origination prior to religion, such as the three number words (1- 2- Many) of primitive counting schemes. Writing the 3 in terms of a motion picture script involving actors and actresses would be incredibly fun. I have embedded the video here: https://www.threesology.org/

    Probably the most eery pattern I found about "3" relates to how many entities, figures, etc. is needed to administrate an organization, whether that's a business, government, or some other high-impact group.
    I often hear a group needs three particular kinds of people to make a startup – a hacker/geek, a visionary/hippie, and an adult/moderator. In a constitutional government, there are (supposed to be) three branches of government – the judiciary, the legislature, and the executive. And I could go on. But what is spooky is that, somehow, the number three keeps coming up when it comes to the organization of power. The definition of power has nothing to do with numbers, yet here I am finding power structures from different domains headed by three figures.

    my fave number is 3 (three), when I do things at first I just cant make it right, when I do it a second time, still the same no progress, but when I do it a third time, then that's the time when I make progress and it will just keep on going and going.

    in my life, 3 seems to be the sweet spot.

    3 also means "TO LIVE" or "LIFE" in asian culture.
